i look at washington. i look at california. i look at the 40% of the people who call themselves independents. i look at the constant attacks by people against this nasty partisanship. you know, so i think congress got down to 13% approval, which only proves there's 13% who are not paying attention." if everybody was just happy with what's happening, i would say, "we have really lost, you know, control of our system." but the thing that does concern me, bill, is to have this kind of a system of democracy, you need to have a citizenship, you know, that is capable of operating in this kind of a democracy. so, we need to do a better job of teaching civics. we need to do a better job of teaching critical thinking. you know, we need to do -- we need to have more citizens who engage, show up in the primaries, show up in the elections. we can start by fixing the political system. >> i would say that one way to start is to read, "the parties versus the people: how to turn republicans and democrats into americans." mickey edwards, thank
